@Forper a few semi-brief thoughts:

1. Nobody ever said your clothes looked of a quality of an entry-level scrub. I did say that the way they fit you made you appear as such. In any event, $3300 for the final outcome is far, far too much, and would still be too much if the belt was actually $200. Quality will last a good long while (and that is a good mindset to have), but quality/high price tags along do not make something look good.

2. You're 100% correct regarding the shirt you mentioned. Far too tight, and far too short. It was a poorly executed foray into MTM shirting, and, as such, was taken to the local Goodwill months ago. Thankfully not terribly expensive (done intentionally), as it was a sunken cost almost from the off. I suppose I must commend your efforts to get back at me for daring to question your unique style lol.

3. I ask this in all sincerity: what is your hope/intention in posting in the thread? I myself utilize it for inspiration and advice for improvements. You've made quite clear that is not your intention.

In any event, there's no way to assess your outfit without saying it looks frumpy at best, and terrible at worst. I dig that you like being comfortable, but wearing a bed sheet masquerading as a shirt is not the optimal path to comfort. If you choose to spend a decent chunk of change on your clothes, why not spend a nominal fee to achieve a decent fit?

@gnatty8 not pretty tight...intensely tight. Like take shallow breaths to avoid popping buttons tight lol. It was the first (and last) time I'll be using body measurements for a shirt. To compound the foolishness of that plan, I listed measurements as smaller than they actually are in an attempt to achieve a slim fit. Poorly conceived all the way around lol.

Yeah that's WAY better than yours.

Cleav I always love it when that gunclub makes an appearance.

Mmmm. I hope so too.

Yesterday I wore pretty much what Murl wore today, only different. I also only have a shot of the top block but trust me, the rest of it was perfect in every way imaginable.

Square is cotton with a cool green flower embroidered on it; you can't tell.

@ericgereghty That's a bit more than brief for me and probably far beyond the time you should have spent… although I admire your willingness to provide straight forward advice (despite the fact I think he's ******* with us.)

@Forper is the new @DP92 … now slightly less douchey.


Mofo you looking too cool sometimes! That's nice.

Today

Sun's out, I'm out...

I imagine a fair isle sweater is a good match for a tweed sack suit. Thoughts about the length of the pants here. There's contact with the shoe at least. Tie is tartan. Square is regimental.

I really like this—I wish I owned that sweater and that suit, even though sack is not really my jam. But I would definitely go with a solid, textured tie here. It's a lot.

I'm also kinda into no square right now, personally. Not everyone's bag, but if you're considering skipping it, full tweed, pink shirt, and fair isle is the time to do it, I think.

Third day in a row posting here - hopefully not overstaying my welcome.
In case it isn't painfully obvious... I kinda like Eidos

I do wish the quarters on the jacket were slightly more closed (like the revamped NMWA cut), but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
The trousers are a lightweight cotton/wool and I kind of hate them (too slim, too low of a rise). I've recently ordered a pair of olive green trousers through Luxire to replace these ones.

Jacket: Eidos
Shirt: Boglioli
Tie: Conrad Wu
Square: Vanda
Trousers: Club Monaco
Shoes: Skolyx

Great fit! Applaud your decision to get some high-rise Luxires made (I haven't regretted mine for a second); really that's the only thing wrong here IMO. I think you'll like the open quarters on this jacket much better once you have higher rises.

I'm known to be a bit of nut on the subject, but get a good pair with the button on, or just slightly above, your navel and see if you aren't much happier.

^nice, but not sold on the square.

 

[pravda]

@blekit nice tailoring and cinching on the waistcoat. Everyone should be able to see how good your tailor is.
@pliny my favorite fit of yours so far
@gs77 nice swagger

Very nice, an outfit for some fancy outdoorsy activities. The suede snuff shoes work beautifully with that jacket. Who made the jacket?
